The result is 1.08 m. because applying the Pythagorean theorem will yield it.  
2.8^2+b^2=3^2
7.84+b^2=9
b^2=9-7.84
taking the square root of b^2 gives the square root of 1.16
b=1.08

Use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to answer this question. Fifteen percent of all students at a large un
AnnZ [9071]

Answer: 0.1289

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The proportion of students absent on Mondays at a large university.: p=0.15

Sample size: n=12

Mean: \mu=np=12\times0.15=1.8

Standard deviation = \sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}

\Rightarrow\ \sigma=\sqrt{12(0.15)(1-0.15)}=1.23693168769\approx1.2369

Let x represent a binomial variable.

Referencing the standard normal distribution table,

P(x=4)=P(x\leq4)-P(x\leq3) (1)

Z score for normal distribution:-

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

For x=4

z=\dfrac{4-1.8}{1.2369}\approx1.78

For x=3

z=\dfrac{3-1.8}{1.2369}\approx0.97

Thus, from (1)

P(x=4)=P(z\leq1.78)-P(z\leq0.97)\\\\=0.962462-0.8339768\approx0.1289

Consequently, the likelihood of four students being absent = 0.1289

A rectangular prism with integer side lengths has a height of $3$. If the surface area of the prism is equal to $52$, then what
lawyer [9226]
The given details include: Height of the rectangular prism, h = 3 units, Surface area of the prism, A = 52 sq units. We need to determine the volume of the prism. The volume of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula: l = length and b = breadth. Given that the surface area of the prism, A = lb, we have it equal to 52 sq units. Consequently, the volume is 156 cubic units.

We flip a fair coin five times. For every heads you pay me $1 and for every tails I pay you $1. Let X denote the my net winning
AnnZ [9071]
The probability mass function of X equals 0.03. To clarify:
Assuming the requirement for winning is one side as heads and the opposing side as tails, the likelihood of both outcomes is 1/2 or 0.5. Thus, we can construct a graph to calculate all probabilities related to achieving heads. In this context, X indicates the dollar amounts won during the coin flips, while the probability of heads reflects the likelihood of each outcome and the potential winnings. The chances of winning decrease as the winning amount rises.
